Networking desktop to laptop

Ok, so I have a wireless network set up between my desktop and laptop. It
worked fine before my hard drive got replaced on my laptop. I have set up
the network on both computers and they recognize each other. I have complete
access on my laptop to my desktop and can transfer and share files. Now the
problem is my desktop shows the laptop as a workgroup computer but it denies
me access to it.
Says I do not have permission. I have checked all permissions and rerun
network connections wizards and they both look like everthing is set up the
same. Please help me solve this problem. Thanks, Bob

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network

each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
